Profile:
A fiercely competitive cricketer, Manoj Prabhakar's approach was very
much in keeping with the times. Asking no quarter and expecting none,
Prabhakar's combative attitude made him an opponent to be feared and
respected. Whether batting or bowling, he epitomized
aggressiveness. He was also one with a never say die attitude and this
was seen in his batting which was a mixture of well timed strokes and
a sound defence. He was generally more at home in the middle order but
served the country well in many matches as a resolute and dependable
opening batsman. As Kapil Dev's most durable and effective opening
partner, he frequently gave the initial breakthrough. But he is best
remembered as a stock bowler who could bowl long spells without losing
either accuracy or hostility.
Prabhakar was one of the few cricketers who had an equally good record
in both Test cricket and the limited overs game. As a bowler, he made
up for his lack of genuine pace by some enormous in swing. He was a
member of the Indian team in three successive World Cup competitions
and it just one bad match against Sri Lanka in the 1996 tournament
which cost him his place for good. Always a fighter, Prabhakar carried
the combativeness off the field too. He made some scatching comments
about being dropped and then in retirement, he charged that Indian
players were guilty of match fixing and betting. He continued to stay
in the news by entering politics and standing unsuccessfully for
Parliament. (Partab Ramchand)
